Cornflakes Mixture Recipe – Corn Flakes Chivda Recipe

Cornflakes mixture recipe with step by step photos. This cornflakes chivda is done in microwave with just 1 tsp oil. It makes a guilt free and totally low fat snack. If you are looking for a low calorie savoury to make for Diwali, then this cornflakes mixture is for you.

They store well and you can make this in bulk whenever you are free and store it in an airtight bin to eat at leisure. We get non roasted cornflakes in the market which I have used here to make this mixture.

Though you can use the regular cornflakes, it will be way too sweet and will not be that crisp as it is supposed to be. Everyone at home loves mixture in general and this is something I let them to enjoy to their heart’s content without saying No.

Cornflakes Mixture with stepwise photos:

1. In a microwave proof bowl place the corn flakes and microwave at high for 3-4 minutes till they pop up and become crisp. I spread it directly on the turn table.

2. Mix once after every minute to avoid burning and to get crisply done flakes. Transfer to a bowl. I did it in 2 batches. Like wise repeat for aval (poha), peanuts, roasted gram dal, cashew nuts one after the other.

3. Heat a big pan or kadai. Add oil and let it become hot almost to a smoking level. Turn off flame and take the pan off the stove. Immediately add red chilli powder, salt, sugar and curry leaves and mix briskly.

4. Add all the roasted ingredients to the pan and mix gently till all the ingredients get well coated. Store this cornflakes mixture in an air tight container and enjoy at leisure.

You can also use almonds, sunflower seeds, mini jeera candies and raisins too. You can even do the mixing of the mixture in microwave itself if you happen to have a large enough micro proof bowl.

As I did not have one, I did that step on stove top. If you want a tangy taste, you can add 1 tsp of chaat masala powder along with red chilli powder.

OHHH! I knew as soon as I saw this that it was the snack I loved to eat while we were in India. I think I may have overdosed on it! I am making this recipe ASAP. Thanks for sharing with Thursdays Treasures
